MOUNTING LOCATIONA solid front stage with a good image is one of the most difficult tasks to achievein a vehicle. No car has the optimum listening environment. This makes propersound staging very difficult to accomplish. Most speakers tend to be placedwhere they will fit easily, as opposed to where they can perform the best. Themounting location of your speakers will have a great effect on the sound qualityof your stereo system. The special care taken to place the speakers will yieldmany hours of listening enjoyment in return. Several important recommendationsshould be followed.• Place the speakers where they have a directpath to the listening area.• For the best integration between the midrangeand tweeter, the tweeter should be placed2" or lessless than 2" from the midrange. (Figure 1)• If you cannot place the tweeter less than 2"from the midrange, then place the tweetermore than 7" from the midrange. Placingthe tweeter 2"-7" from the midrange cancause destructive interference (frequencyFigure 1response problems) which will affect thespeaker's ability to reproduce the frequency range around the crossoverfrequency of the system.• Whenever possible, place the tweeter directly above or below the midrangeas this maximizes the imaging (point source) capability of the speakers.(Figure 2)Figure 2-A Figure 2-B– 6 –
